FYI this will knock out the yt hub and our test bots.

Nebula will be shut down completely for maintenance starting at
9am CST on Tuesday, January 2nd, 2018 through 5pm CST on Friday, January
5th, 2018.
The downtime will be used to install operating system and kernel patches,
install firmware and BIOS updates, and replace some hardware.
If your instances are running at the start of maintenance we will shut
them down. They will be restarted once maintenance is complete.
If maintenance finishes early we will send out a notification to let
everyone know that services are back online.

Hi all,
I'd like to let both the yt-users and yt-dev mailing list know about a
proposal I am making to drop support in yt for Python 2.7 sometime in 2019.
I've written up a YTEP (yt enhancement proposal) that formalizes this
proposal. Please see the text for details:
https://github.com/ngoldbaum/ytep/blob/master/source/YTEPs/YTEP-0033.rst
If you have strong feelings about yt's support for Python 2.7 (for or
against) I'd love to hear your thoughts as comments on the pull request to
the YTEP repository:
https://github.com/yt-project/ytep/pull/3
To avoid splitting the conversation, please do not reply to this e-mail and
instead make a comment on the pull request.
Once the discussion is finished I will make another e-mail describing what
we agree to.
-Nathan

It would be *awesome* if we could have some representation from yt at this
conference.
Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to go because of a conflicting
conference on the same dates that I need to attend.

Subject: [AstroPy] Reminder: Complete your application for Python in
Astronomy 2018 this week!
To: Astronomical Python mailing list <astropy(a)python.org>
Hi,
This is a friendly reminder that applications for Python in Astronomy 2018
close this week. The application form is open until 23:59UTC on Dec 9, 2017.
Python in Astronomy 2018 will be held 30 Apr - 4 May 2018 at the Center for
Computational Astrophysics at the Flatiron Institute in New York, NY.
Thanks to generous support from the Flatiron Institute, there is no
conference fee, and there will be limited travel support available.
The application form is at: https://goo.gl/forms/AGuoU8mUFv3WJ8Qn2
More information about the conference, and links to past years, is
available at: http://openastronomy.org/pyastro/2018/
Finally, a brief excerpt from the description of the conference:
In addition to sharing information about state-of-the art Python Astronomy
packages, the workshop will focus on improving interoperability between
astronomical Python packages, mentoring open-source contributors, and
developing educational materials for Python in Astronomy. The meeting is
therefore not only aimed at current developers and users, but also
educators or others who are interested in being involved in these efforts.
Participant selection will be made with the goal of enhancing the Python in
Astronomy community and we particularly encourage requests to attend from
junior astronomers and people who are new to contributing to open source
software. Effort will also be made to select participants who have a
demonstrated potential to contribute meaningfully to the Python in
Astronomy infrastructure via providing educational materials,
documentation, and/or coding. This conference is neither intended to be an
introduction to Python nor only for expert-level Python developers.
Thanks,
Matt Craig, on behalf of the SOC:
